Tennessee Built-In/Victorian Gutter

Looking to preserve the look of your historic residence while still updating gutters? The built-in, or Victorian, gutter might be just what you are looking for. These types of gutters are also known as box gutters and are very similar to what is available for commercial applications (link to commercial box gutters). Keep the integrity of your historic home by installing these gutters today.

Features Of Victorian Gutters

As their name implies, Victorian gutters have been in use since the 19th century. They are integrated into the roof and therefore do not detract from the beauty of the home. But, because of this feature, they are very difficult to install as a new gutter system on an old roof.

One of the most common things that can go wrong with this style of gutters is simple neglect. The phrase “Out of sight, out of mind” most certainly applies here. Remember to prolong the life of your gutters by removing debris from them. This prevents damage from standing water in the gutters which can lead to costly repairs.

Nashville Built-In/Victorian Gutter Experts

While it is possible to install Victorian gutters into a new roof, the most common project is simply upkeep and restoration on old homes. While neglect will obviously cause distress to the gutters themselves, it could also damage other components of your roof, such as the eaves structure.

The craftsmen at Antebellum Roofing have extensive knowledge when it comes to Victorian gutters and can help you maintain and restore an existing system or install a system into a new roof.

    We bought an antebellum house and the roof was leaking when we took occupancy. There was a porch with an internal gutter system that other roofers were intimidated by. We hired Kevin to do an entire roof replacement. Kevin knows what he … More is doing, was very professional, and did a great job. I cannot recommend him enough, and I would say my interaction with him has probably been my most pleasant experience with a contractor.

    Kevin the owner, took before pictures of our roof damage in order to show us the problem as well as taking after pictures to show us that he had fixed it. He worked with our insurance company and saved us a lot of money. Very professional, … More southern hospitality.
